If you come into a lot of money, life becomes easier, right? Well, actually, no—at least not for Sally Nicholas, whose generosity of spirit immediately runs into all the slings and arrows of having an outrageous fortune in this standalone novel by P.G. Wodehouse. Sally's handsome fiancé turns out not to be all he seems (and then there is the show he's written, which she agrees to put on in the theatre). But waiting in the wings is Ginger Kemp, who really does adore her (obviously, since he's purloined her photo), and though he seems to make a hash of everything he tries, he remains ever ready to try something else. Even in this American story, the creator of Jeeves and Wooster invokes the very British spirit of a bygone era in gentle, hilarious satire that, as Evelyn Waugh puts it, "satisfies the most sophisticated taste and the simplest."
